114: The wind of society still blows to the school
"Forget it, let's stop here for today. I'll go back to class first."
He had been busy all morning, and there were still three things left to deal with: the gold bars, the rubies, and the super lotto. Even if he rushed in the afternoon, he wouldn't be able to finish them all.
Not wanting to tire himself out, Ye Su simply decided to stop running around and chose to go back to school for class, leaving the rest of the items to be handled tomorrow.
Nowadays, Ye Su didn't place much importance on that graduation certificate. He wanted to finish his credits and graduate smoothly, but it was just to give his family some peace of mind.
"There's only a little over a month of classes left. If I skip half of them and attend the other half, it'll be over in no time."
Comforting himself with a casual remark that his school days would soon be over, Ye Su drove back to the school.
The Lingnan Institute of Engineering didn't restrict university students from driving into the school.
However, since it was Ye Su's first time driving back, he had to register his student ID, driver's license, and other documents on his phone before he could be let in. To avoid such trouble in the future, he would need to submit an application to enter and exit the school freely.
There was still over a month until the break, and he would inevitably need to enter and exit the school frequently, so Ye Su dutifully submitted his entry application.
After the application, the school didn't charge students parking fees, but they had to follow school regulations: no speeding or illegal parking on campus, and they had to yield to pedestrians.
Once a violation was caught, the first offense would result in a one-month ban on the vehicle entering the school, the second would be three months, and the third would be a year.
After learning the rules and parking the car in the designated parking lot, Ye Su opened the door and got out.
"Wow! That guy is driving an Audi!"
"He looks so young and so handsome! Could he also be a student?"
"I really want to go up and ask for his WeChat!"
As soon as Ye Su stepped out of the car, he immediately attracted the attention of several girls.
A young, handsome guy with an Audi A6L, suspected to be a classmate, made the girls instantly swoon over Ye Su, wanting to get to know him better.
"Look at you all, acting like you've never seen the world..."
Watching the classmates around him swooning over another guy, a male classmate nearby said sourly:
"There are tons of Audi cars out there that have passed through a dozen hands. You can get one for just a few tens of thousands. You buy it back and it needs small repairs every three days and major repairs every five. They're all sold to people who have no money but still want to put on a front."
No one paid attention to the male classmate's words; everyone was captivated by Ye Su's "handsomeness" when he got out of the car.
"Hi classmate, are you also from our school?"
Not long after Ye Su started walking, a "passerby" really did walk up to strike up a conversation with him.
"Yes."
Ye Su nodded indifferently, but his pace didn't stop, and he kept walking forward.
"You really are a student from our school!" The girl said with some surprise: "I'm from Business English Class 2, sophomore year. What about you?"
"I'm a junior. I'll be leaving school soon." Ye Su started to quicken his pace.
One was 1.8 meters tall, and the other was visually estimated to be not even 1.6 meters. With Ye Su speeding up, it was clearly a bit of a struggle for the other person to keep up.
To Ye Su's surprise, the female classmate was almost running, yet she still didn't intend to give up.
"Senior, you're about to go for your internship. I have one more year, and then it'll be my time for an internship too, but I don't understand a lot of things about it. How about we add each other on WeChat? If I have any questions in the future, I can ask you."
As she spoke, the girl was about to take out her phone, but was stopped by Ye Su: "Sorry, I have a girlfriend. She keeps a close eye on me and doesn't let me add random girls as friends."
"Senior, you really are a good man—" The girl was still acting coquettish: "But it's nothing between us, just schoolmates adding each other as friends. Your girlfriend surely won't mind."
"Sorry." Ye Su didn't pay attention and waved his hand directly: "I have something urgent right now. Let's talk next time."
After saying that, he no longer cared about [politeness] or [decorum], left the female classmate behind, and walked straight ahead.
The female classmate still wanted to chase after him, but unfortunately, her legs were short. She couldn't keep up with Ye Su without running, so she could only stamp her feet in anger on the spot: "It's just an Audi, what are you acting so high and mighty for!"
Ye Su didn't know that even though he hadn't done anything, he still had to be gossiped about behind his back by people who had been chasing him:
"Are even college students this realistic now?"
In two and a half years of college, Ye Su had encountered situations where female classmates actively wanted to add him as a friend.
But if they weren't to Ye Su's liking and he explicitly refused, the other party wouldn't continue to pester him.
It was nothing like now, where even after explicitly refusing with the excuse of [having a girlfriend], they still wouldn't give up.
Apart from having money in his pocket and a slight, not-so-obvious boost to his [Charm] and [Charm], Ye Su was still the same Ye Su.
The only difference was that extra Audi A6L.
As for why the female classmate just now was so persistent with him, the answer was naturally self-evident.
"Sigh, the winds of society have still blown into school..."
Sighing along the way, Ye Su finally returned to his long-missed dorm:
"dudes, long time no see!"
Fang Zewei, who was playing on the computer again, glanced at Ye Su and then looked back at the screen: "Had your fill of wilding out? Finally remember to come back?"
Lin Jingjie was flipping through textbooks, preparing to go to class: "I thought you hadn't had enough fun during your five-day break and were going to skip class again today."
"Of course I was going to come back."
Ye Su walked into the door with a laugh. Looking at the dorm that seemed completely unchanged, he felt a bit dazed inside.
In just over two months since binding with the system, his life had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Not only was he helping his family pay off their debts, but he also had hundreds of thousands in his pocket and a car. He had a roommate who got along well with him, and the people he dealt with had become Wan Yuanliang, who ran an antique shop, and even Li Mengyao, the eldest miss of the Poyun Group.
Looking at his three dudes, their lives were still the same as before—playing games, attending classes, and waiting to find internships next semester. It was as if they were living on another timeline, the life he would have had without binding to the system.
Arriving at his desk, intending to flip through the tutorial books he would need later, Ye Su reached out to put his car keys into his cabinet.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhibin had just finished using the bathroom and was walking in from the balcony. He immediately saw the car keys Ye Su tossed into the cabinet, and the conspicuous four rings on them.
"You don't even smoke, why did you buy an Audi lighter?" Jiang Zhibin stared at Ye Su suspiciously:
"Don't tell me you're greedy for more, buying an Audi lighter and planning to cheat on your girlfriend to deceive the ignorant female college students at our school?"
"You know what kind of character I have, don't you?" Ye Su immediately retorted: "How could I possibly do something like that?"
Jiang Zhibin patted Ye Su on the shoulder: "Isn't it precisely because I understand your character that I have such doubts?"
Ye Su slapped the hand off his shoulder in annoyance: "Get lost."
In Dorm 305, Jiang Zhibin had long since gotten used to hearing the word "get lost" and didn't care at all: "Lend me the lighter to take a look."
Sigh—
I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, why do you have to force me to show my hand?
Ye Su couldn't refuse, so he had to hand over the keys: "Here."
